program israel stepping up with a solvent gaza targeting around one hundred fifty a size of a night including the homes of hamas leaders meanwhile israeli troops are massing on the gaza border with a number of reservists on standby at around seventy five thousand that's now crossed. that the appears to be developing conflict for as good morning paula so we've been reporting that there have been reports that hamas government compounds have been targeted what more can you say over the. years israel targeted the headquarters of the guards on him as government in what we understand was four strikes according to eyewitnesses there is extensive damage to the building explosions could be heard over gaza city in the early hours of this morning saturday and this comes as the israeli air force also targets other government sites including the interior ministry on china now must has issued a statement in which it says it will stand alongside its people but the point needs to be made that we're talking here about. in the just me and the elected government

by the people of gaza we're not talking about random fighters that israel is targeting israel continues to nor is trying to as part of this military offensive bit of knowledge back on wednesday with the assassination of hamas military chief and over the past three days israel has struck suspected rocket launching sites and other hamas targets with scores of air strikes i must point side has fired some four hundred and fifty rockets towards israel with many of them landing in open spaces in southern israel creating a situation where you have more than a million people who are in this state of lockdown in the south of this country according all we have so far twenty seven palestinians and israelis who have been killed many of them are civilians now i'm finally egypt's prime minister visited gaza the fact that was at a cease fire was apparently broken during the egypt prime minister's visit the i.d.f. has a deny this or who must say that two people were killed during that visit now the

egyptian prime minister to the court that he saw children in hospital one of whom was dying it is increasing concern here that they were. loyal troops are massing on the border it was or this have been called out and the situation is extremely tense israel has been threatening to turn this situation to a full fledged rather invasion doesn't seem like we're getting closer to that outcome well it certainly does seem close and we have seen troops massing at the border we know that thousands of reservists have been called out have been speaking to many israelis folks here and outside the country are increasingly concerned that it's just a matter of hours if not days before the order will come from the i.d.f. for this ground offensive to take place the scenes here is that this is an opportunity that the israeli prime minister netanyahu has been waiting for an opportunity by which he can show his strength and an opportunity by which he can deal with the hamas militants in gaza as he has been threatening to do for quite some time we also witnessed yesterday from. first time since nineteen sit in

a long range missile hitting and then just a few days earlier missiles hit with very close to our tell us all of this has created increasing concern and. inside israel and that's just. the probability of the possibility of israel launching a ground offensive parties fall asleep reporting there live from tel aviv paula many thanks indeed. at least twenty seven palestinians were civilians women and children among them have been killed since israel launched its assault on gaza on wednesday in contact with activists on documentary filmmaker harry fear who is currently working in gaza and he says much of gaza's population is a very young and that most people they're heavily reliant on the support of aid agencies. i've been to several sites to stream struck by israeli strikes frankly being out and about in the gaza strip is the most dangerous thing to do this is our real massacre according to garp since that's the bridge most of the gazan

population are under the age of eighteen seventy five percent youth unemployment over sixty percent unemployment massive problem and most are you going to gaza refugee status most people over sixty percent from my own aid agencies are. just i do not started that so that is what the situation is like a normal day to day in these days here in the war that gaza is being bombed with drugs with f. sixteen s with helicopters with naval. and so you can just imagine it's not going any better out of sr resistance groups have been ordered by a majority of gazans for the strong resistance in her heading israeli forces and so it's not looking in the palestinian narrative point of view that i actually got sense of hope that that forces our of what seemed to be very likely an eminent ground by its very defense forces despite a number of civilian deaths in gaza israel has held its defense operation as

senator cole and claims that only targets military sites my colleague are we so sure has been talking to an excel state and spokesperson for the israeli prime minister's office. i want to see that we have only one goal israel has to defend its citizens i'm sure that there is no state no state no russia and no state in europe and no united states of america can agree with this kind of situation you know our children our elders are fired by rockets on our schools on our civilians and we turn on the terrorists with one very simple goal to stop this firing of rockets from our civilians and we will target terrorists until they stop would you care to explain why the palestinian interior ministry has also been targeted in fact that building is basically left in a state of rubble and ruin that's hardly

a militant stronghold in fact the interior ministry is where people get passports visas it's where journalists get their permission to go into the strip why go after why level the interior ministry the explanation is very simple unfortunately for mass terrorists while they target our civilians they hide behind their civilians they hide behind schools now the i.d.f. our army that wants only to defend our citizens targets only terrorists gaza is an extremely confined area a very small area probably certainly overpopulated why are so many children being killed by israeli airstrikes if you're going after militants there are no children been heard by idea if only terrorists heard only terrorists are targeted while the visit of egyptian of the prime minister of egypt israel didn't try and didn't attack any target in gaza but

a master is the target israeli civilians while the visit of the prime minister of egypt and i suggest you check the information because there it cannot be. people while the visit of the prime minister of egypt because we didn't also doing are certainly going to show you. you know you're absolutely right according to the i.d.f. no airstrikes were carried out on the gaza strip during the during the visit of the egyptian prime minister although somehow two palestinians did manage to die the israeli army in the israeli government will do everything needed targeting terrorists only. to stop the firing of rockets from israeli cities but is really schools is really children and if we will need some ground operation we definitely will consider so. as palestinians are continuing to ask world leaders to help put a halt to their salt the u.s.

remains firm in israel president obama spoke to israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu on friday to reiterate his support and mercy at a news junkie post says the consequences of their creation of the conflict are not being properly considered. is well as the sanction of. just. the intention of making the bulk of his vote i personally think. even with a betting of someone approach on the ocean which would normally be. all they are doing any sort of thing is stupid because if there's one thing that you need for the muslim world and he's been seeing not only the most critical actually all over the world including in the us is a matter of understanding something that is not well thought out because what could very easily. is not.

on these whales coming from leave are not also some annoy us enjoy all the one where you have about two million but is not as well as grow up so move on the egyptian army that is very substantial so israel is basically applying was fire . the syrian rebels are gaining momentum as their national coalition tools western nations lobbying for support the u.k. is mulling officially recognizing the opposition movement and sending military aid to the airlines after a meeting in london region wants to see a clear plan of political transition from their lines before becoming next to the light officially recognize the group the coalition will now hold talks with french

president francois hollande on saturday after paris said it will also excuse may consider sending weapons to the rebels middle east correspondent commentator and blogger cultural believes however that the opposition movement is in disarray with no united voice to speak for the syrian people. but. in syria of course the process has been much slower and the wave of defection that we saw in libya didn't exactly happen in syria and what's happening now in specifically in syria is that people there are going off representing a syrian uprising are not the people who are on the ground so we started hearing for example support from different rebel groups armed may rebel groups for the new opposition leadership but who knows the extent of or whether they would be able to exercise political control so what you really have to look at that there is a strong divide between leadership that is outside the country and doesn't have control on the ground and forces on the ground pretty much doing whatever they want

after all always ended with to separate opposition bodies because they syrian national guards of still exists alongside the national coalition the new national coalition so it's a recipe for more division and kind of like call for coherence for moving the country forward. caray sion generals previously convicted of crimes against humanity have been freed after a year i was the second veterans for atrocities during the bloody nine hundred ninety s. break yugoslavia will have the details in a few moments. that's right about now the lower house of the u.s. congress has approved a travel and finance restrictions against russian officials suspected of human rights violations as the so-called magnitsky bailed after a russian lawyer sergei magnitsky who died in a police custody three years ago after being held by they should invasion russia has told the move a provocation and promise to retaliate meanwhile lawmakers in washington have voted

to lift it. but last night also historian dr gerald ford believes u.s. actions will mean souring of relations. commences to something to moscow is that the research is. how russia quickly at that when one door closes another one opens what i mean is that that the human rights situation united states and so it's quite terrible and i would hope that the russian duma and the russian authorities would begin to scrutinize carefully the human rights situation right here in the united states where for example there's like one example most many black populations about twelve or thirteen percent of the population of about fifty percent of the prison population and they are disproportionately represented on death row slated for execution by the state authorities for example why not a miniscule bill in moscow that would pose a visa restrictions on religious businesses who would seek to do business with russia or involved in violation of equal opportunity laws right here in the united

states i mean i think there are a number of measures that could take that would be inappropriate to protect. to corporation generals have returned home after a un court overturns their war crimes convictions for their actions during the one nine hundred ninety s. breakup of yugoslavia until gotovina and other markets were previously drilled for atrocities against hundreds of serbs for twenty four and eighteen years respectively so the historian anybody somali believes the initial guilty verdict was a classic case of double standards. that court has no credibility to start with and it shouldn't have had any credibility for years the fact that people are protesting the verdict now as a miscarriage of justice is actually lending because particularly if they don't how would you why would you be offended bridget why you decision. presently in line with what the courts are saying was i don't stand there which is to blame the serbs for everything even though the court tribunals did exactly what it was supposed to

do we made a show trial it made a show verdict and then overturned a show verdict when its usefulness wasn't the end it was greenlit to join the e.u. after defer tickets now all of a sudden the verdicts are longer necessary these guys can go scot free and everything is just fine and dandy in killing serbs is not a crime in fact service is almost a requirement to join civilized society the way the define you these days. and for you a look at the dark side of sanction a teenage boy done these details shortage of nets in the course of why this trick to e.u. and us involved against the islamic republic. and also online is the pride of britain groaning i reports that have been u.k.'s newest nuclear powered submarine fleet which cost almost ten billion pounds it is too slow and. british taxpayers who helped bail outs to all the country's biggest buying said the

height of the financial crisis may never see that money again a group of influential and peace awards the six to six bit and pounds the government pays to rescue r.b.s. and lloyds t.s.b. may be lost for good. box down the numbers. this is all focused around the public accounts committee investigation into the sale of northern rock that was the bank that if you close your mind a couple of years back was one of the first to get a big banking bailout is estimated that for northern rock the type state is set to these around two hundred billion but that's not the worst of it because of the s. and lloyds bank oh also you had a lot of taxpayers' money funded into these bear laos and the taxpayers could be set to lease a staggering sixty six billion pounds on that is very very hard to wrap your head around those figures so we're going to try and compare it really the amount that was put into those bailouts to what we have in the moment spending on social

welfare such as pensions education health care and defense these figures coming at a time when everyone here is struggling in a daily we're talking to people who really you know is struggling to survive in the country in the midst of this very very tough economic times and you kind of got this it was a good report very hard hitting report telling us that there was a monumental collective failure that the treasury was unable to form the respond because they don't like children and standing so it really hurts a little bit of the billion story guys we've lost that sixty six billion you know are bad we weren't quite on the job one of the great the warning at the very beginning with the taxpayers in line and doing now by a campaign manager robert oxley thank you for joining us today these types of stories always make me so angry because you know every day we're covering stories where people are struggling with a living wage in the way they spots the pensions the you know a tax is

a rising all the time and then you have this report showing that you know sixty six billion could be lost i mean it's just chiefly responsible with taxpayers' money for this report as a. politician to spoil their woolly words. that we were going to make money out of the banks and that propping up the banks would be you know it would be ok and there was a chorus of people from both sides that was so you know we need to tell about. what's happened it's because the pound basically allows politicians to gamble other people's money and lo and behold those politicians have got very good result as is always the case when politicians are spending other people's money it's incredible how often most empowered manage to get every major crisis wrong and i think we're seeing the moment in a rejection in the way that politics at westminster is out of touch the point here is it was the writing was on the wall whether any lessons will actually be learned of course remains to be seen but taxpayers they think there is absolutely whopping losses at the moment at least a lot of people saying you know we saved the banks he's going to save us. it's not

have two or sixty years or how can you survive in circumstances like piers is unclear but hundreds of thousands of pensioners across the country are in the same boat say the chairman of a large charity which is trying to help. a number of seniors. has increased considerably in regions. but now all regions are of. the greatest. but now these struggling people are in for another blow starting next year the pensions of over ten million french will be taxed says the minister for the elderly this will amount to zero point five fifteen percent of monthly payments and the new government believes this will generate three hundred fifty million euros annually for the social security fund

but economists believe it's pointless. trying to do. well is reach by all means this three percent deficit threshold that was promised to brussels and they're trying to find like every single penny. the countries don't have a say will do harm to the pensioners and to their spending power will be just really bad for consumption as a whole in france it will not be a perfect solution for reinvigorating french growth and beer agrees because in his case every cent counts it may be less than one percent a few spanish and deducted each month but it's still threatens to take food from his mouth alexi rush of ski reporting from paris in florence. in troubled times everything from countries and companies still ordinary people seem to have a common problem debt but not cherishing the u.s. might have come up with a solution to help those who need it most is the brainchild of occupy wall street and based on traditions of face and forgiveness president has the streets of new

york to find out what people think of it. started by the people behind the occupy wall street rolling to believe is a project that is buying up debt just like a collection agency would but instead of collecting on it there absolving the debt in an effort to liberate america from the chains of debt is this ingenious or a way to let slackers off the hook from responsibility this week let's talk about that depends on where the funds are coming from crowd sourced crowd sourced yet crowdsourcing is great if they can clear people's debt who need it then i think that's the good thing to do are you into that. i take that as a yes not a lot but i do know of it well if you're below i'm not sure that they won't go right back in again so i think people either are responsible for their own actions

or there are going to do. i still understand what they're about to drive me crazy occupy wall street does well they've destroyed a whole bunch of public property with their movies they've paid for that why don't they pay for that the taxpayers have to pick up what's the catch there is no catch there's absolutely no catch other than the system probably doesn't want them to do this because then people are free and clear that like a good idea to you. but i'm not going to buy my debt from the u.k. i think i know someone who went to africa to live for a while and they were boarded every day with ever time and so what they don't have and they said they never felt so wealthy or well to do as it living in africa because they weren't every day you know with what they didn't have yeah it would be nice if companies took a little bit of the responsibility for their advertising and marketing and also for the credit card companies who hand out cards that may have people that can't pay for it to kids they give them to kids in college that's a big problem you know it's an ethical you know it is we're just spending during

nine eleven what do they say don't stop shopping. because you've got to. this big machine rolling but it's a bike isn't this going to just collapse in on itself anyways i mean can we just continue to buy and buy and buy forever and without ever saving anything so what's going to be the massive change a little over i mean i think it's an economic rollover i think we're seeing it now we've got economic crisis in every country around the world whether or not you think rolling jubilees sounds like a good idea the bottom line is their only mission is to help the common good not wall street profits which to me is always a movement to get behind. and coming out would take a look at how often creates a mistake and the ammunition in the bottle for peace and justice that's not to the breaking news and.
